It's not a bad idea to get some time on the new machine, do well on your 12month check, and then sit home on reserve.

Thanks...Can't tell you how stoked I am about getting on...If it is the -8 or the A300 what kind of schedule/trips should a new hire expect?

Bottom guys on the bus seem to be getting GDL trips and early am turns.

Funny how the idea of those trips make line holders sick. Same thing happened when we had GDL and MTY on the Z

Don't you want to at least get comfy on the plane before you hope to just sit at home on reserve?

The comment was intended to say that I want to be based at home. Like not sit in a crashpad on reserve if I don't have to. Either way works though, really not worried cause I just won the lottery!

That's why the FAA has that consolidation requirement ...

If you can't get comfy in 100 hours, well, its going to be a long year ...

The 727 was the sweet deal to sit at home and hardly ever work. Oh well, that's on the way out!
